A new Urtext edition of Béla Bartók’s complete choral works was launched in March 2021.
The three-volume edition is based on volume 9 of the Béla Bartók Complete Critical Edition (Z. 15009), a joint publication of G. Henle Verlag, Munich, and Editio Musica Budapest Zeneműkiadó. The lyrics in this edition are in the original languages and in the translations authorized by the composer. Literal English translations are provided in the appendix, which also includes early and alternative versions of the works.
Our edition is distinguished by absolute authenticity regarding both the musical text and the style of notation, as well as superior engraving and print quality. The edition is complete with informative prefaces (in Hungarian, English, and German) and detailed Editorial Comments (in Hungarian and English). The Comments give an overview of the textual, folk-music, and compositional sources, and provide detailed information on the performance practice of Bartók’s choral works.
The volumes have been printed on high-quality and environmentally-friendly paper.
The three volumes are available in two formats: paperback and clothbound. The paperback editions can be bought separately, while the clothbound volumes are available only together in a slipcase.
Each work included in these volumes will also be published separately during the following months.
Seventy years ago, the Hungarian State Music Publisher first opened its doors for business. In honor of this momentous anniversary, starting on July 1st and for the 70 days thereafter we will be sharing a different publication on our Facebook page - one to honor each year of publishing since 1950.
Due to the many travel restrictions that are currently in place, Musikmesse Frankfurt 2020 has been canceled. As a result, we will not have the opportunity to present our newest publications in person as we normally would.
While this is unfortunate, worry not! We are working in close cooperation with our network of partners and music shop owners to make our new releases available to you as quickly and easily as possible.
As always, check here for the latest updates on our most recent publications - think of it as our virtual exhibition booth.
We will continue servicing all orders and doing all that we can to put great scores in your hands.
Editio Musica Budapest is proud to announce the release of the extended and revised edition of Zoltán Kodály: Choral Works for Mixed Voices.
Seventy-five years after their first release, the time has come for Kodály’s collected choral works for mixed voices to appear in a completely new, expanded edition. This collection contains six compositions that were not included in earlier editions. It is printed in a slightly larger format than previous editions and is available in a hardcover version as well as a softcover version for practical purposes. We whole-heartedly recommend the canvas-bound edition to libraries, collectors, and Kodály enthusiasts alike.
This is the most complete and most authentic collection of Kodály’s mixed choruses to date, and it contains new easily-legible music scores and an informative epilogue written by Péter Erdei.
More information on the publications can be found here.

The piano series entitled Games, written from 1973 onwards, was conceived originally as a piano method. Its early volumes introduced children to the basic elements in piano-playing and musical thinking, and, more importantly still, taught them to play music without inhibitions. As the years went by, the view of the series lost its didactic character. It came to be seen as a document from Kurtág’s workshop, offering a key to his grander symphonic, chamber and vocal works as well. This change is exemplified in the subtitle Diary entries, personal messages added from the fifth volume onwards.
The pieces in the ninth volume date from 1989‒2009, except the youthful Apple blossom, written in 1947. The movements, often aphoristic in their briefness, conceal associations with various aspects of European music history. Many of them are hommage or in memoriam pieces, or subjective personal messages to friends, colleagues, beloved family members or students, and thereby to all music-loving people.
Composer Kamilló Lendvay passed away on 30 November 2016 at the age of 88. He was one of the most important members of the generation of Hungarian composers whose careers began in the 1950s.
Virtuoso Hungarian pianist and conductor Zoltán Kocsis dies aged 64.
We are proud and grateful that we could be the publishers of his compositions and transcriptions in the past decades.
With sadness we also realize that we must continue further common projects on our own.
Leó Weiner (1885–1960) belonged to a generation of composers including Dohnányi, Bartók and Kodály; however, his music is in an entirely different orbit. At the age of 21, he finished his studies at the Budapest Academy of Music as a composer with various prizes and laudations. He turned to music with Hungarian intonation very early, although it was the German and French masters between Beethoven and Brahms who exerted a decisive influence on his personal style, conservative and attractively colorful at the same time. Most of his compositions are orchestral, chamber and piano works; however, he also composed an excellent ballet and a couple of choruses. More...
Flowers we are… – Seven notes, which not only cover the piano's entire range but practically György Kurtág's entire life’s work. Already it is there, concealed in the Op. 1 quartet, confessionally in The Sayings of Peter Bornemissza, in the Games piano pieces, in numerous solo, chamber and orchestral works. As in all great music and every significant artistic creation, it is about man's beauty, fragility, fallibility and fears. And as is: Kurtág's art.
The whole musical world celebrates Kurtág on February 19. Our birthday present is two new publications: one is the piano piece composed in 2013, entitled …couple egyptienne en route vers l’inconnu… (…an Egyptian couple on the way to the unknown…) which was inspired by a more than 4000-year-old Egyptian statue. The other is the reproduction of the music notebook, into which, over 32 years, György Kurtág copied a succession of newly ready movements of the series of Games for Zoltán Kocsis. This notebook – Kocsis Zoli's manuscript book – is a constant participant even now in those concerts where Kocsis plays Kurtág's works.
Embrace Music — That is the motto we have adopted this year. In other words, we want to help you to make music an integral part of your life.
Music is all around us these days; it stimulates us more intensely and prevalently than ever before. But do we relate to it passively or actively? Are we merely consumers or makers of music as well?
We at EMB know that making music brings joy. That joy is multiplied and shared by playing to others. What’s more, making music develops individual values, such as concentration, openness, sensitivity, collaboration, and concern for others.
Our aim is to allow as many people of all ages to experience the wonder and value of music.
The 2014 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the category of contemporary music was awarded to György Kurtág on February 10th, 2015. The renowned Hungarian composer was nominated by both the Ferenc Liszt Academy of Music and the Széchenyi Academy of Arts. The award is funded by the Spanish BBVA Foundation in order to promote and disseminate world-class scientific research and artistic creation. This honorable prize (worth 400,000€) was presented to Kurtág by the BBVA on June 23th, 2015. As the part of the celebrations (beside the orchestral works by Ravel and Berlioz) Kurtág's juvenile work Movement for viola and orchestra was performed by Philip Dukes and the Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi conducted by Jun Märkl.

Predstavujeme Vám dvojjazyčnú slovensko-maďarskú Veselú klavírnu školu renomovanej pedagogičky Ágnes Lakos obsahujúcu podrobnú metodiku výučby klavírnej hry!
V štyroch dieloch školy nájdete návod na zvládnutie klavírnej hry od základov (I. -čítanie nôt, legato, staccato, dvojručná hra, dvojhmaty, bodkovaný rytmus, ligatúra) cez mierne pokročilé pokračovanie (II.- podkladanie, nadkladanie, synkopa, triola, kvintola, sextola, hra akordov, stupnice, rozložené akordy), prvky pokročilejšej hry (III.- melódia so sprievodom, polyfonická hra, dva hlasy v jednej ruke, chromatika, používanie pedálu, oktávy a sexty) až po vyspelejšiu techniku (IV.- ozdoby, striedavé tempo, striedavé metrum, variácie, sonatíny).
Akcent je kladený na rozvoj zručností prostredníctvom malých majstrovských diel popredných skladateľov pre tento nástroj – Bachom počnúc a skladateľmi 20. Storočia – Sibéliom, Bartókom a Lutoslawskim končiac. Škola nezabúda ani na ľudovú hudbu a populárne žánre – evergreeny, jazzové skladbičky, úpravy v štýle Beatles a pod.
Škola si uvedomuje dôležitosť opakovania, komornej súhry a ovládania rozličných štýlov. Preto si dáva záležať na upevňovaní získaných zručností, zaradení troj- a štvorručných skladieb a pestrosti repertoáru. Ďalšou charakteristikou je výtvarná a grafická pestrosť. Bonusom ku klasickej klavírnej výučbe je slovník hudobných termínov a skladateľov, skladby ktorých sa nachádzajú v klavírnej škole. Poskytuje základné informácie a motivuje k ďalšiemu – hlbšiemu teoretickému a hudobno-historickému štúdiu.
Objednajte si on-line, emailom, alebo telefonicky prvý a druhý diel Veselej klavírnej školy v cene EUR 15,40 prvý diel/s CD a EUR 13,20 druhý diel. Tretí a štvrtý diel bude k dispozícii do konca roka 2011.
